People are now only focus on the visual image of architecture, the actual experience of building
is neglected. There is a relationship between the architectural form and the experience inside
space. Shaping the form while also shaping the feeling inside. This act as the value of experience
in space is important. We often fascinate by the unique looking of architecture as it was the one
that attract our eyes. People just pass by the building everyday as merely to be looked at. The way
that building is making our behavior in spaces. For example, the spatial elements whether it is a
confined or an open space.
We need to transform our vision images into spatial experience with our entire body experience.
Beside our physical appearance in space, we also have to have some knowledge and practice in
perceiving the space to have an enjoyable experience inside space. Building is a symbol of human
habitation. We made spaces where we can live in to protect ourselves from any danger. Building
was made as the shelter of human being to keep safety from outside wild space, but now many
architects explore on how we also can have interaction of outside space from inside visually and
physically. Different people will have different psychological and emotional responds in spaces.One
who has this appreciation will have the maximum enjoyment through spaces. We experience the
space not just by visual appreciation, but how about the sound, smell, surface that surround us. For
example, when we are inside a space and hear the sound of water falling that is outside, it might
create a relaxing feeling to us. How the sound of train perceives to our mind and bring back
memories.
We can create memory that reflects from what we experience in a building. Mostly the unique
design will stay longer in our mind, the one that have a great impact to our senses. It may be a
good or bad experience, but the important part is what reflects in our mind. Therefore, it is a
designer's task to create great experiences in spaces that they designed. Our mind can sense a
relation between the form that is outside the space and inside the space. If the exterior experience
is already great, people will have the same or greater expectation of experience inside the space.
